@chrisnotap My key fob works on and off. It probably started after I replaced my car battery. The key fob battery gives full voltage upon testing. Now sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. What could be the reason? I tried a programming sequence (key in, on/off x2, key out, door open/shut x2, key in/out) to no avail. Appreciate your help.

Dude, this is the most easiest, shortest, straight to the point DIY video I have ever seen. I love it

[@williammoore6417]

Easy to follow.Was able to fix my key following your instructions.Only swore once!

[@marcosjuarez1490]

Im next..

[@marcosjuarez1490]

How much was the battery?

[@williammoore6417]

@@marcosjuarez1490 Something like between 5 or 6 bucks for a pack of two at Target or Walmart.Its easy to do.Just be patient.Watch the vid a few times or have it on while you change the battery.

Only once is Good! 😂

PANASONIC CR2016 works for me. I thought DURACELL CR2016 was a good brand, until I attempt to use it on my 2013 Toyota Rav4… it didn’t work. I read the comments, and found majority said their panasonic batteries worked. So I gave it a shot, $5 instead of buying a replacement key fob for over $100+. The patience and severance worked. My Panasonic came, and I pop the sucker out, and put in the new PANASONIC CR2016. I went to my car, and holy smokes, it worked!

[@user-pe8gv3dv9w]

Quick tip - Put a piece of tape over the buttons before you open the key to keep them from falling out.

[@monktrane325]

Finally, without all these smart key stuff, you saved me. Thank you

[@chrisnotap]

Glad I could help!

[@kathibas4499]

Excellent video. After changing the battery, and reassembling the key, it still would not work! I took it apart again, and discovered that I had not taken the tiny sticker (which warns that swallowing the battery can be dangerous for children) off the back of the new battery! I removed the sticker, reassembled the key, and it worked great! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video!

[@maralee2429]

Thank you! This was the only video I could find that dealt with the old fashioned key and not the smart fob. Exactly what I needed!

[@nat-mr3kh]

for someone who’s dad never taught them anything growing up, I really appreciate this tutorial, finally can get into my car without worrying too much about the pouring rain

[@kidgusto]

8 years later still best video on youtube, a butter knife is better than any tool.

[@blkivory650]

Still helpful 9 years later thank you 😊

[@carolenhil]

Who is saving $$$ in 2021?!!! This video is still useful. Changed battery of 2015 RAV 4 keyfob. Energizer battery $1.00/ eyeglass kit screwdriver $1.00 (Dollar Tree)! Sense of pride in being self sufficient - priceless!!!!

[@hahna77]

My batteries were $8 each

[@rdaalways2286]

I did it! I called Autozone and they said they’d replace the battery for me. But they didn’t have Panasonic brand. It would cost me 10.99 So I went to Walmart and bought the batteries 2/5.67, they just had energizer & Duracell. So I got the same battery as Autozone had, the energizer and watched your video. It worked! Cool. I saved some money still , but at least I learned how to do this myself! Thank you so much for the video! I feel accomplished for today. ☺️

[@chrisnotap]

This is the way you should treat everything that needs repaired. Call around for prices. Watch youtube videos then go for it!! You've got this!!

[@moonbear5929]

Yay, I replaced my battery! I had more trouble getting the new battery out of it's packaging than I did getting the old battery out of the key-fob. Thank you for the tutorial, it was clear, concise and right to the point. Nice job, it really helped in making this task easy to do. Thanks again! 🚗 🔑

[@NilooS]

Thank you soooo much for this!! I was having a stressful week already and then I dropped my mom's Toyota key and thought I had broken it. I was frantically calling the Toyota Dealer and they said "Yeah probably you'll have to order a new key and it'll take a few days for it to come in". Thankfully I turned to KZbin and saw how easy it was to put it all back together with the right tools/technique. So appreciate this video!

[@killazftw]

I have reached a new level of adulthood, which is when I happen to already have the battery

[@rickyymunoz]

Lucky ! I thought I had the right size battery following along the video but I had size 2032 😢

[@gsamx1]

Very much appreciated, Chris. Perfect how-to. Got 'er done for 2 keys for $5 worth of batteries.

[@maritsaramos7464]

This video helped me a lot ! My husband and his friends said I need a new key 😂 but after I googled it and this video came up I was able to change it my self while my husband was trying to help. Thanks for making it so simple to follow. :)

[@chrisnotap]

Glad I could help!

[@Jinxo01]

Lol his man card has been revoked

[@annydrah4034]

Did it! I'm sure the dealer would have charged way to much for this simple task, thank you!

[@South-Side-Ronin]

Ten bucks at my dealership. 😒

[@toby9999]

@@South-Side-Ronin That actually is much less than I would have expected. Typically costs $25 here to get a watch battery replaced.

[@zoey6088]

Perfect how-to video! I appreciated the easy-to-follow pace, informative narration, and clear angles of demonstration. Thanks for this!

[@BetterOff735]

Thanks a Bunch. Just went out and installed a new battery. Couldn't have done it without your video. I very much appreciate it.

[@chrisparker5372]

Quick, easy, and complete in 3 minutes, seven seconds! Thanks!

[@tHuNdErCaTz68]

I put off replacing my key fob battery because I assumed it would be difficult and/or expensive but thanks to your video I changed it quickly and easily! It's such a small thing but when it doesn't work it's annoying; so glad to have it working again.

[@eunicelovelee]

Opening up was the hardest part but the rest was easy and simple to follow! I appreciate you making this video!

[@johnnyrepine937]

Thank you for the tutorial, it's been awhile since I've worked at radio shack, and I assumed this was the style that needed the lighter on the key trick to loosen the Phillips screw, possibly hidden under the label. But I double checked with your video and saved a lot of time. So once again, thank you.

[@InfancyForever]

Mine was super easy. Only took about 5 minutes. Followed your steps exactly and it worked out

[@LegoStarWars217]

[@NickC702]

That's funny, I see this video is like 7 years old and yet, I just used it today to get mine opened up. This made all the difference, thank you!

[@LindaOrtagus-et6ch]

THANKS!!! For your calm and easy to follow directions!!! You are the best!!!

[@MegaBlackLobster]

Your instructions are a good way to break the little plastic clips. The "use coin to open" sign is not telling you to use a coin to pry that interal piece out. Its telling you to use a coin to open up that piece to get to the battery. Using a screwdriver to pry the little clips up is incorrect and can result in broken clips. I would suggest using a penny instead of a butter knife as well since that slot is literally designed for a penny to open it. A butter knife is a little slimmer and gives you a lot of leverage to break things. Just trying to help.

[@jimsomethingelse9493]

I'm not sure what "little plastic clips" you're referring to. Assuming you mean the outer case, mine requires a dime. A penny will not fit.

[@Turbocharge65]

You are right Jared these instructions are wrong. I should know I replace these daily at the Toyota dealership where I'm employed. A quarter works best for me.

[@geecrawdad]

I think you guys are just nickel and diming this thing to death

[@CPeezy-kp7eu]

Agreed. And also no need to pop the battery out like that there is a little release clip. Ole Notap telling the whole world how to do this wrong lol, solid work bud.

[@shopkins11]

Very much appreciated! Worked on my original fob like a charm, the other I’m still fighting, (battery won’t lock in, it was a replacement fob and is subpar, not surprised I’m having a problem with that one.)

[@PYXyooj]

Super stoke I found this video!! I was not going to drop more money than I should have to get a new battery replacement! This was so helpful!

[@eviewerle362]

Thank you very much. That was easier than I thought and my key did not even have the little lugs. Very much appreciated.

[@KookyKay82]

Thanks for this! i was able to replace the battery on my mom's key fob in under 10 minutes thanks to this video. I got two batteries for a buck and the only 'real cost' was a trip to the dollar store to get it. Beats getting it replaced for a lot more elsewhere!

[@specialrider54]

Thanks. I used a Duracell equivalent of the Panasonic battery that I removed and everything worked.

[@LeGlome99]

Thanks for the tip. Bought energizer, that is all what was available at the store and now it works like a charm. One of my key was dead since few months.

[@ellieu.6575]

Thank you so much! I’ve had the battery for months, but I put it off for as long as possible. Now I don’t have to manually lock the doors just in case it would refuse again!

[@shashonie1]

On the corner side of the inner battery holder there is a little instruction saying insert coin here at a notch that makes having to pry each little indention unnecessary. Great instructions though.
